Most people assume the only real Emmental (more commonly referred to as "Swiss Cheese") comes from Switzerland. Our French Emmental, however, proves to be every bit as worthy of the name. It comes from the heart of the French Alps near the chic ski resort of Chamonix. The freshest water in the world rushes down this region's high mountains, through deep valleys and abundant rivers and feeds the French dairy farms that produce Emmental's milk. Frantal Emmental is ripened to perfection in the traditional 180 pound wheels. They are turned weekly in the ripening chambers for a minimum of two months. It has a somewhat sweet, buttery taste that is slightly reminiscent of fresh nuts and has many round walnut-sized holes evenly distributed throughout. A result of a complex and difficult cheesemaking process, Frantal Emmental is worth the effort. Taste the difference!

This is a really nice mild cheese-not bitter or sharp. It has a firm smooth texture. Everyone-even kids-could eat this. It is like the Swiss version but not as oily. Great stuff!

Frantal Emmental

An emmental took 1st prize this year in Europe. Taste this cheese and you'll know why. Perfect alone, this is the best cheese to mix with scrambled eggs. Use truffle butter to fry up and you will know true heaven.

Can it get better than this?

Wow, great cheese. Can it get better than this? It is so delicious, you won't stop eating it! I highly recommend this product! Even if you are not familiar with French cheese, you will like this.

Great Swiss to eat straight!

This has a much richer and cleaner taste than any Swiss I've been able to find locally. I think it would make a good fondue option, but I'm enjoying it at room temperature with red wine.

Frantal Emmental

Great rich, smooth tasting cheese with a moderately sweet and buttery milk taste. It's an outstanding cheese on burgers and sandwiches. Exceptional with crackers or just eating it plain in cube form. Another great French cheese worth experiencing.
